Always Remember ~
Relating to those old abandoned homes comes easy these days. Meandering through memories of what used to be.
Once all so vibrant, now just rotting away back into the Earth piece by piece.
Our personal decay is so reflected inside those walls that once held laughter, tears, births, and death. Now empty hallowed places.
Does every generation feel this way? Watching as the expansive changes of family, move through the shifts of this world leaves a sealed scar of melancholy blue.
Missing days of flannel shirts and the smell of a campfire. Marshmallows burnt to a nice...

Journey alone~
Walking through the forest with moss laden feet I quietly exit this life
unseen, unheard while being swallowed up by the screams inside my internal earth
Rotting corpses leave my senses swaying in the depths of my screams
catering to the sorrows that wander inside me due to mass chaos
Parallel Universes divide that inner peace with fair play soul slice…
Dark vs.Light
Always, in every space of existence the reality of balancing the inner and outer
earth, keeps the echoes of the forbidden just within reach
Outstretched hands with...

Repentance Of A Port Forgotten By Time By Tracey & JPR
Primal energies weave through as the ocean meets the sea. Calm waters with mad minds.
Ever-changing tides, churning the depths up and out as an unheard scream gets lost in the winds.
Towards an expanse vacant as the feelings that no longer exist yet, we strain to maintain this facade praying none may view the cracks.
Falling into each wave, begging the universe to cradle the demons within, or just aid in the escape, or simply, just simply cast them into the depths of the void.
As we await what may never return, at candlelit tables apart in spirit,...

Holy Fire~
Consequential damage accumulated within multiple sorrows has that eternal clock left with permafrost, binding the impactful moments to each cell.
Confusion sets in as the soul screams for redemption, wanting to be free of the “sins” of the masses, including the mass within.
Staying in vigil of my own essence, my own love, each step takes me further into the abyss.
Falling upon broken knees, broken from years of repent, tears fall as the body quakes in release.
Again, a journey into the dark night of the soul. A space where a stamp on the frequent...

What’s been Lost~
So many scenarios cross through my mind as I think about you and I and who we have been. Most certainly who we could have been.
Thinking about all the things that we have done. All the things that we dreamed of doing. This envelopes me with a sweetness, and yet a melancholy blue. Heartache ensues.
Never being good enough to be the one. This has been very difficult in this lifetime. Being second rate, while being told that I am number one. It’s ironic looking at this from my view.
You stood your ground. I’m so proud of you and I hope you’re happy because...

Upon our Winter~
By John Patrick Robins and Tracey Sivek
Seasons change hearts seldom ever do.
There’s a bit of agony in that, moving through the minefields left behind as we seek so desperately to feel the sun.
With memories encapsulated masked with our truths.
The trip was vacant as the sands that lay barren ahead.
A wastelands postcard of sorted stories.
We preferred not to pen.
Still it lingers in the caverns of the heart. Stillborn dreams with haunting void eyes. There will never be a more powerful apocalypse,
than the one we’ve created. ...

Fall in Reverse co-write with John Patrick Robins
Take the words as you will play the part or just fantasize about tomorrows that often will never be.
As the sunset doesn't linger as neither shall I.
There never was a kiss or a promise that time could hold on to.
Just a few cigarette burns to connect the dots to nothing, nothing at all.
So it's said once a adult and twice a child.
I thought the answers existed somewhere.
But I have long since traveled every road and only more empty highways exist.
And it's there at the end of the earth where dreams...

When the Voice has Fallen asleep~
There is this memory of you and I...a time when all we did was graced...all that was said was gold and all we felt was the blood of the earth and the sky pumping through our veins
... Simply meant to be
Now the lines are blurred like the ripples in the water. I can't see clearly anymore I can't see the defined lines. I don't know the rules and I'm tired. I want to know your love and I wish that you could want it as much as I do
But the blood of the earth ran dry and the sky is covered in grey.
... simple rantings of the forlorn
Time has...

Sanctuary~
Feral love was born in the beating
of his heart against hers
time stood still as moments were stolen
...never to be returned
Formations of energy ripped at the lovers
tearing them apart and leaving sharp edges
that seemed to pierce the soul of all who got near
...tattered and torn, with chin to chest
Madness attached to her every thought
forming cob webs of unnatural reality
voices scream in codes while her eyes rolled
...her silence fades into internal screams
Maiden flowers that bloomed were cast aside...
of his heart against hers
time stood still as moments were stolen
...never to be returned
Formations of energy ripped at the lovers
tearing them apart and leaving sharp edges
that seemed to pierce the soul of all who got near
...tattered and torn, with chin to chest
Madness attached to her every thought
forming cob webs of unnatural reality
voices scream in codes while her eyes rolled
...her silence fades into internal screams
Maiden flowers that bloomed were cast aside...

Thanksgiving Thoughts~
This morning has already been interesting. My brain is going off in so many directions and I haven’t even had coffee yet.
With it being Thanksgiving and seeing the dynamics of this day unfold in so many different ways for people it just got opened up a plethora of channels in my mind.
I’ve been feeling off lately. Watching the extremists do their hate work under the umbrella of the word freedom exhausts me. How do we come together when the underbelly screams separation? I’m still holding onto the thought of us waking up one day as a collective with eyes wide open, with the...

Using Restraint~In memory of Lily Mae
Sitting there watching from your chair
as my body hangs...suspended and waiting
your eyes move over me
like a painter sizing up his canvas
Moving your chair across the concrete floor
you place it below me
your hands press hard into my soft skin
while your tongue tastes the beads of
sweat forming from my struggle
You swing me over your body
spread my legs wide
while your hands explore the
tenderness of my inner thighs
Pulling my legs over your shoulders
I lean back in total surrender
suspended ...
